Using your current specs your front tire is taller than your rear tire, this is a disastrous setup.

You want to maintain around a 3% difference to keep all TCS, VDC happy with your rear tires always being larger

I would go with 225-40-18 front and keep your rears as is
you think I should run 40's all around.. that wont cause an issue?

VDC/ABS/TC won't have issues but your going to be going smaller sidewalls and I can almost guarantee that your tires dont meet the recommeneded vehicle load rating. Load rating is what the manufacturer decides what is needed to properly and safely support the vehicle. A lot of people to careless but I tend to bother them with it anyways. I drive my vehicle aggressively and make sure that the tires can withstand what I or the road throws at em.

Of course not, as long as you maintain enough stagger

Just use the sizing I gave you, it's not that difficult
